	I recently read two of Spider Robinsons other books and
enjoyed them very much.  The first of them "Callahan's Crosstime
Saloon" is a collection of short stories that take place in this
bar.  All the stories center around some theme and all of them are
filled with the worst (best?) puns you can possibly imagine. Or then again
maybe not.  I've seen some from Asimov as well as Zelazny and I've
been known to make quite a few of my own.  In fact, at Boskone there
is an event known as Punday Night which is taken from this book.  I
recommend it to all who have not read it yet.
	The second book is "Time Travelers Strictly Cash" and has
some more stories in it from Callahan's.  It also has in it some of
the stuff that Spider wrote for various magazines including a
defense of Heinlein.  All of those people who have in recent issues
of this digest been putting down Heinlein should read this essay by
Spider Robinson.
